About BSCMX
Brandes Small Cap Value Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in equity securities of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations. The fund follows a disciplined value investing strategy, seeking to identify and capitalize on undervalued opportunities within the small-cap segment, which typically encompasses companies with a market capitalization of $5 billion or less at the time of investment. The portfolio is relatively concentrated, with a significant portion of assets allocated to its top holdings, and is intended to capture attractive growth prospects and value anomalies in this dynamic market sector. This fund is designed for investors interested in exposure to small, often under-researched companies, which can present both higher growth potential and increased price volatility compared to larger firms. Notably, the fund applies rigorous research and valuation discipline, reflecting Brandes’ longstanding value-oriented investment philosophy. With a net expense ratio of approximately 0.91% and a relatively high minimum investment threshold, the fund is positioned for institutional and sophisticated investors seeking differentiated small-cap exposure in their portfolios.
